Module Learning Strategies
Weekly whole group formal lecture, supported by weekly part-group seminars. Seminars will support students' learning through giving guidance on the use of independent study time, through supporting the development of study and other key skills, through encouraging students to engage with the major ideas and themes introduced in lectures via discussions guided by questions on central issues and through preparing students for their assessment. In addition, students are encouraged to seek individual tutorial guidance relating to their progress and performance.
